We Had a Great Car Wash and 50/50 Raffle on September 12, 2010!

Hello Oak Hill House Supporters! Our Lucky 50/50 Raffle winner is Miss Linda G. from the Hagerstown area. She took home $185 which means we also kept $185 to go towards our goal to ownership. We also raised $101 from our Car Wash at the Advanced Auto on Virginia Avenue and Halfway Blvd despite the cloudy weather. Yes, even Miss Courtney, our CEO, washed cars for Oak Hill. Thanks to all who came to allow us to “Scrub Your Ride”. Stay tuned for more raffles and other fun ways to support our efforts.

Its Family Day at The Oak! What a Wonderful Event!

Today, October 2, 2010 from 11am-4pm, its Family Day!  We have 85% family participation today and we are brimming with gratitude for those folks who showed up to support their children.  We also have our DJS Resident Advocate who accepted our invitation to come and we are looking forward to some administrators from Cedar Ridge to hang out with us a bit today as well.  Oak Hill House is one of the only programs to perform services for family therapy in the homes twice per month and offer weekends and Family Days in this capacity.  Those youth whose families couldn’t make it earn money as they work to assist staff in facilitating this event.  We are Oak Hill House proud!

Exciting news…Our much anticipated goal to ownership is well underway.  Capital One has pre-approved us for a loan to buy our house and save our program but we need the down payment to complete the process.  We’d like to thank our supporters for encouraging us, for making donations to our various projects including the Advanced Auto Car Wash & Raffle, our Yard Sale, Domino’s Pizza Dough Raising Cards and many upcoming events to follow.  We have The First Annual Oak Hill House Fundraiser Dinner, Silent Auction & Raffle coming up on November 6, 2010 from 6pm-9pm at the Hagerstown Eagles Club on Locust Street in Maryland.  Gold’s Gym, G&G Restaurant & Martini Lounge, Spicher’s Appliances, Momentum Auto Works and a host of other generous business owners have donated items for the silent auction and we are sure you will enjoy the full course dinner we will prepare for you and your guests.  We will have a cash bar which is very reasonable and every ticket enters you into a chance to win cash or prizes.  The cost is $10 and we look forward to sharing another wonderful soiree with our business supporters and you!  Call us at 301-582-4980 to purchase tickets or to make a donation.  All proceeds go towards the down payment of our property purchase and we need $100,000 to make this happen.  Please come out.

Beyond Status Quo!

Status Quo is Not an Option @ Oak Hill House & School!

We had an amazing fiscal year 2011. It’s no small wonder we made it through some of our toughest times to excel into a new level of excellence. We’ve had eight successful discharges between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011! We’ve had models emerge with Anderson Photography donating a photo session. We’ve seen every football game in the NFL thanks to Mr. Brian Lynch, President of Antietam Cable Company in Hagerstown.

We have CopyQuik, DatAchieve, the Pittsburg Pirates, Document Solutions, Wal-Mart on Garland Groh, St. Joseph’s Church and a host of private humanitarians who constantly support our cause. Capital One Bank and multiple local businesses help keep our kids secure, maintaining a wonderful place to grow and thrive. Stay tuned for our Car Wash Fund Raiser on September 11, 2011 at Advanced Auto on Halfway Blvd and Virginia Avenue in Hagerstown and our Yard Sales throughout the Summer. Use our PayPal function to make donations anytime. Let’s Make a Difference- I Can’t, We Can!
